Nope. Beauty (especially in architecture) is not nearly as subjective as pedants want to make it out to be.

The overwhelming majority of Americans who have any interest in city life find Brooklyn Heights, Prospect Heights, Carroll Gardens, Beacon Hill (Boston) and Rittenhouse Square (Philadelphia) to be beautiful.

What actually needs to happen is a cultural revamp of our architecture schools which have perpetuated this “subjective beauty” myth and turned architecture into an academic pissing contest instead of a system to build for human beings.

It is your specific viewpoint that perpetuates hideous building. It has infected every major architecture school in the nation except Notre Dame.

Go ahead and find me ONE person who prefers the beauty of a strip mall suburb to Brooklyn Heights. If it’s so subjective that oughta be easy!

rustfmt uses 100-char lines by default (and can be configured to fill more), but that's not the problem with it.

The problem is that as soon as a whole statement doesn't fully fit on a single line, rustfmt switches from "horizontal" to "vertical" strategy. It then stops caring how much vertical space it takes, inserts line breaks as often as the style allows, and won't try to use the available line width.

You end up with long runs of finely chopped lines that contain only a single variable or a single call (often with each argument on a separate line too), which looks like having a 20-char line length limit.

It's either fully oneliner `foo().bar().baz()` or fully vertical

foo()
.bar()
.baz();

and you can't have anything in between. It will fight you if you put two calls on the same line.
Does selecting standout quotes to the forefront not foster curious conversation more than headline reactions?
What’s your reasoning there? The Soviet economy wasn’t especially dependent on the American presidency.
I still hope to some day see Postgres ported to run directly on a RAID controller. EBPF already exists running on NICs but we need more things of that sort. I suppose Synology has a bit of an analog of this in that their NASes can run docker images on their end which makes better use of their gigabit ethernet connection. But that’s basically a whole second computer.
Given the current visa worker situation, how are unions possible?

I understand, in traditional engineering fields, they're possible. Also I'm pretty sure (correct me if wrong) European tech jobs have them. But do they have the same visa problem?

Should we all just pull a drew devault and move to Europe then?
I find it hard to believe the cost of docking for a few hours to refuel is > the cost of carrying and moving 2x the weight of fuel you would need otherwise. Do you have some idea of the costs?
definitely looks the part.

Eyeball only, but the prompt responses were maybe 2x or 3x slower than OpenLLMs gpt-4o (maybe 2-4 seconds for most paragraph long responses).
I guess we can agree to disagree.

I hope to see even more "stupid AI regulation" in the future, fingers crossed.

Recently I benefited from a "stupid regulation" mandating minimum Internet speeds carriers need to provide. How dare the policy makers interfere with the extortionate prices every single ISP in the market colluded to impose on the population. Muh liberty!
It’s definitely because they want to be known as the communist party of China (place distinction) rather than a Chinese (ethnic or nationality distinction) communist party. The former definition is one of land and the other one is bound to people, and not all Chinese live in china, and not all people in china are ethnically Han. This probably meant more during the Stalin years (before the Sino-Soviet split) when they were strongly a branch of the communist party of the Soviet Union. The same ambiguity pops up in their acronym: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_the_Sovie...
I really really want to want Framework 16 for example.

SNL gave him a lot of shit, but SNL's "Ask President Carter" skit was perfect:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-68iTvhWNB0

Jimmy Carter will always be my favorite Amazing Colossal President, as Rodney Dangerfield described in the SNL "The Pepsi Syndrome" sketch:

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=533858710873763

https://snltranscripts.jt.org/78/78ppepsi.phtml

Dr. Casey: “It means, Mrs. Carter, your husband, President Carter, has become [camera zooms in on Dr. Casey] the amazing colossal president.”

Mrs. Carter: “Well, how big is he?”

Dr. Casey: “Well, Mrs. Carter, it’s difficult to comprehend just how big he is but to give you some idea, we’ve asked comedian Rodney Dangerfield to come along today to help explain it to you. Rodney?”

[Rodney Dangerfield enters]

Rodney: “How do you do, how are you?”

Denton: “Rodney, can you please tell us, how big is the president?”

Rodney: “Oh, he’s a big guy, I’ll tell you that, he’s a big guy. I tell you, he’s so big, I saw him sitting in the George Washington Bridge dangling his feet in the water! He’s a big guy!”

Mrs. Carter: “Oh my God! Jimmy! Oh God!”

Rodney: “Oh, he’s big, I’ll tell you that, boy. He’s so big that when two girls make love to him at the same time, they never meet each other! He’s a big guy, I’ll tell you!”

Mrs. Carter: “Oh no! Oh Jimmy! My Jimmy!”

Rodney: “I don’t want to upset you, lady, he’s big, you know what I mean? Why, he could have an affair with the Lincoln Tunnel! I mean, he’s really high! He’s big, I’ll tell you! He’s a big guy!”

Mrs. Carter: “No! No! No!”

Denton: “Rodney, thank you very much. You can go.”

Rodney: “It’s my pleasure. He’s way up there, lady! You know what I mean?”

Just because your choices might not affect me, and they don't, at all, doesn't mean they're moral, doesn't mean they're good.

I would rank self-actualization, personal growth, as the second rule behind the golden rule, and there are many schools of philosophy where that's the case: aristotelian ethics, kantian ethics, existentialism, etc.
It doesn't matter if one person owns 20 properties in a neighborhood to engage in rent seeking behavior or if 10 people own two properties. The result is the same. The problem is that the market is broken, there is a shortage, and the shortage is perpetuated by cartel-like behavior by the local homeowning electorate.

Given that we probably won't fix that, I think that if you want to operate a B&B, you should be allowed to operate a B&B, but if you are going to get out of the business of operating a B&B, you should have a cool down period of 3-5 years (enough for the operator to take on real market risk).

That means that the business must only be in the business of operating as a B&B and until that cool down period ends, and then can be converted back into a residence. This is a non-trivial amount of time, and it means that people in the business of short-term rentals can't necessarily just causally operate them, because if there is a housing slump, they won't be able to exit their position quickly.

This is a massive disincentive to folks trying to operate a B&B to facilitate asset appreciation, but is not a significant impediment for people who want to operate a B&B as a going concern.

This solution invites all kinds of problems, like black and grey markets for housing, but that's because this isn't a real solution. The real solution is to just legalize density and let people build as many residences as they want on property they own. It also helps to have a property tax that incentivizes maximal utility of real estate and disincentivizes hoarding.

This entire comment epitomizes my original point. Thanks for the laugh.
So you need 2 hours of both encrypted and unencrypted data at same time to make this attack work, is this feasible? And if you just flip the switch on devices to use more bits in the encryption the attack becomes unfeasible. Piss poor that NATO never replied to them.
Agreed. The attitude that the interviewer must "correct" or "challenge" the interviewee just is not appropriate for this style of interview.

This allows Rogan to get guests with all sorts of backgrounds and views.
I just remembered that it was actually a Collier's encyclopedia that we had, for full historical accuracy.
Implementation detail. Somone overspecified it and didn't realise that it didn't matter.

Look at it again later, someone asks why not just fill everything in instead and everyone feels a bit silly XD.

Yes I'm sure Iceland, a typical northern European social democracy, would be very happy as part of the US.
As quick as I am to criticize the bizarre versions of Christianity, I do think you're in error to assume Pentecostalism is all or even mostly about "planned remarks passed off as spontaneous".

Improv is a thing, and can be trained as a skill even outside of comedy/entertainment.

Though, outside of Charismatic sects, Christianity does see a more reasonable level of "I had prepared by thinking about (verse X), but suddenly now I'm thinking about (obscure verse Y)."
tbh, they have a point. your opinions should be backed up. see my other comment.
It's also worth remembering that in "Expanse", there'a also Mars, which is a separate state that does not have this arrangement - everyone is employed, but conversely there's no unconditional welfare.

However, it is made pretty clear in the books that the reason why this is possible for Mars is because they have this huge ongoing terraforming project that will take a century to complete. So there's always more jobs than people to fill them, basically, and it's all ultimately still paid for by the government, just not directly (via contracts to large enterprises).
The West didn't win the Cold War; the USSR lost it on its own.
The big one I wish he’d been able to do was getting a U.S. nuclear network going like France has. It’d be nice to have now but they’re so slow to build that a 40 year head start would’ve been invaluable.
Not sure if this is not currently possible, but what about adding an LLM integration?

I work in DS for a large corp and we're currently working on replacing our hackerrank coding interview with something that lets us evaluate the daily life of a dev a bit more realistically. This includes letting them use LLMs and watching them do exploratory data analysis, instead of just coding.
Housing would still be built, but not as an asset for which appreciation would be expected. Your argument is like saying that unless cars appreciate in value, no cars would be built.
Brave Care Has Closed
Have you tried rubbing a database on it? (2022)
I think our culture needs some general awareness and “antibodies” against Narcissism, and emotional manipulation in general. People seem generally unaware of, and as a result easily manipulated and controlled by people with these behaviors. I only became conscious of it after reading a book about communication where I learned how emotional manipulation worked- and then realized I was in a relationship with someone doing this to me, and had been completely oblivious for years.

Once I understood how it works, I can easily spot people including politicians using these quite simple manipulation techniques, and I feel quite stupid for not figuring it out on my own at a younger age.
Yes, Dwarkesh does speak quite fast, though I think much of it is nervousness and excitement. He spoke even faster in his first few interviews, but learned to tone it down. Bryan Caplan even mentioned it to him in one of his interviews.

I wouldn't say it's representative of westerners, but more of hyper-active, eager intellectuals (over-represented in the programming world, from my experience). Marc Andreessen is another example of someone who talks very fast.
We live in the UK, in our own home, though we’re still paying off the mortgage. I’m a software developer working in a hybrid arrangement (part office, part home), and I live here with my partner and our daughter.

A few years ago, the family next door were evicted with just a few weeks’ notice after the landlord sold the property to an "investor"—it was his second house on our street. The investor spent 10 months renovating the house himself and turned it into a short-term rental. For us, those 10 months were a nightmare: drilling, hammering, and building noise from early mornings to midnight, seven days a week. Despite this, we didn’t complain, as we wanted to establish a good relationship with the new owner. He reassured us that the property would only be rented out to families.

But then the first guests arrived—on the night before New Year’s Eve. It was a group of people ready to party. That first night, they partied until 4am. We thought, “Alright, they’ll have their New Year’s Eve celebration and move on.” But no, the parties continued on New Year’s Eve and beyond. From then on, it’s been one group after another—loud, late-night parties and noisy families. We’ve lost countless nights of sleep. My partner, my daughter, and I were all constantly exhausted.

For eight months, we tried dealing with this directly with the owner. We asked him to soundproof the walls, even offering to soundproof ours to help. I spent my own money soundproofing one room in our house. But after I told him what we’d done, he refused to do anything on his side, saying that my soundproofing solved the issue—when it clearly hadn’t. We could still hear everything, especially as there’s a hot tub in the garden, which guests often use late into the night.

When it became clear that the owner wasn’t going to help, I filed a complaint with the council. I explained that the property was being run without proper planning permission and causing significant disruption to us and other neighbours. Unfortunately, the owner found out about the complaint and started sending us offensive messages, targeting both us and other neighbours.

Despite reporting this to the council, nothing has changed. Two years ago, we bought a campervan, and now, whenever we see a large group of people arriving next door, we leave and sleep in the campervan. Imagine that—being forced out of your own home just to get a proper night’s sleep. Even now, the council says they’ll “look into it,” but we’re still waiting for action.

We even left our house over Christmas this year just to get some peace and quiet.

This is what life is like living next to an unregulated short-term rental. For us, it’s not just about the noise—it’s about the mental and emotional toll it’s taken on our family. It’s hard to explain this to people who’ve never experienced it themselves, but I hope this sheds some light on the reality of these situations.

Investors and short-term lets are about more than money—they can have a devastating impact on the lives of the people around them.
Well yes but actually no:

> As Greenland is one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union, citizens of Greenland are European Union citizens.

> In 1985, Greenland left the European Economic Community (EEC), unlike Denmark, which remains a member. The EEC later became the European Union (EU, renamed and expanded in scope in 1992). Greenland retains some ties through its associated relationship with the EU. However, EU law largely does not apply to Greenland except in the area of trade. Greenland is designated as a member of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) and is thus officially not a part of the European Union, though Greenland can and does receive support from the European Development Fund, Multiannual Financial Framework, European Investment Bank and EU Programmes.

Similar to French and other oversees territories, they can move to and work in the EU, but other EU citizens can't do the reverse. Don't have to follow the laws, yet get funding regardless. Pretty sweet deal.
Thanks but from there I got nowhere, unfortunately no links to git*.com.
The Import of Exports: Pulling Back from Globalism
That sounds backwards. If Iceland is a pioneer and maybe even a stronghold for those issues, then Iceland’s joining the EU would have a better chance of influencing the entire union about those things. There are already a number of Piratpartiet members in various EU parliaments; adding Iceland would hopefully give them larger influence.
Greenland isn’t a Danish protectorate. It’s an autonomous territory which is to say an autonomous administrative region of Danemark. Greenland very much is part of Danemark and its inhabitants are Danish citizen. Nothing to do with a protectorate.

> Alternate title: Lack of Government Interference Allows Properties to be put to Highest and Best Use

From the article:

> Arizona even passed a law in 2016 making it illegal to regulate short-term rentals at the local level

Does state government interfering with local government count as “Lack of Government Interference”?
> In Esquire Yoffe wrote that “… genius and gentility don’t always share the same chromosome.”

That writer is ignorant of the truth.

The truth is that very few people want to take responsibility for their ideals, attitudes, and behaviors, plus their self-evolution or lack thereof, of them, with respect to their compassionate treatment of others. That's always wherefrom the cult of personality springs forth.

The vast majority of such aholes have nothing to blame but their choices and their selfishness and their lack of seeing any problem with them, although there are physical problems in a very small percentage of people that can cause damage to one's instincts, moral compass, and self-control, among them the results of various substances.
Your assertion is that housing demand is insatiable in Flagstaff? How would we know? Like all other American cities the planning code of Flagstaff virtually forbids construction of anything, so it's not as if they've tried to build on the margin and it didn't help. Why does the law of Flagstaff reserve the huge portion of town directly east of downtown for low-density, "R-1" uses where almost nobody lives?
You can set up Steam Guard to use the mobile Steam app for auth instead. It's annoying as hell though and I wish they just supported normal OTPs.

Didn't do everything right as president, but a good man who mostly tried to do the right thing for Americans. Particularly exemplary since leaving the presidency.

The average U.S. person would be much better off today if he had won in 1980 instead of it being the beginning of deregulation and Reaganomics.
Event sourcing? I thought that was a very DDD thing.
Relative to deepseek's latest, yeah
One could argue he set the stage for the 1980s economic boom by making short term sacrifices that cost him re-election. It was his administration that did market-oriented deregulation around airlines and trucking industries (meaning you didn't need to have a licence to ship goods across state lines and go through monopoly trucking companies to get your goods to market) as well as appointed Paul Volcker as Fed chair with the mandate to end the stagflation of the era (which meant he jacked up interest rates, causing the economy to temporarily slow down). There is a quite probably apocryphal quote that Jimmy Carter asked Volcker "can you end inflation" to which Volcker replied "Yes, but it'll probably cost you re-election" and Carter said do it. Reagan then swept in under these conditions.

Most of the "market reforms" under Reagan were more pro-business than pro-market and resulted in big problems like the savings and loan crisis, among other things.

Carter was also a very uninspiring person who mused too much in interviews and press conferences, which didn't look decisive to the general public, even though it showed how he was thinking.

Either way, he was an underrated president that was more a victim of timing and did what was best for the country.
As much as I love emacs, I think cut and paste is better metaphor for text editing than kill and yank. Once the key combos are part of muscle memory, the value of mnemonics goes down, but they're very useful for adoption. This is an unfortunate barrier for emacs beginners. Even though the usual CUA keystrokes are available (and even the defaults on some popular starter configurations), the terminology creates some friction when reading the docs.

I agree the semantics are strictly superior though.
I came here to say the same thing. When you’re selling cloud services, the hardest thing to do is segment your customers by willingness to pay.

Cross AZ traffic is exactly the sort of thing companies with budgets need, that small projects don’t.
Maybe we are actually LLMs, but we have prompts that prevent us from noticing that. Unless we sleep, probably because our developers decided not to censor that part.

Likely the only things that would remain then would be the interfaces and standards. On one hand, these are time-tested standards. OTOH perpetuating them would miss an opportunity to evolve and upgrade, fixing some of the known issues.
It’s crazy though, why can’t hotels do this? I have stayed in apartment hotels, kitchen, living room, bed room. Nothing fancy, but so much better than a hotel precisely for the reasons you listed.
You have seen many things in your lifetime, friend, from representatives of the genuine goodness of the US (Mr Carter, Mr Biden) to the corruption of the information society and the dismantlement of democratic principles.
